<\/p>\nMost often, young girls prefer to work in the modeling business, for whom the podium is the first step to fame and a prosperous life. <\/p>\n
It is true that not everyone chooses this path, and for some the calling comes naturally.<\/p>\n
The story of our today’s heroine is already interesting in that she first appeared on the podium at the age of 80, <\/p>\n
having managed to overcome many obstacles and difficulties in life before that. But now she meekly endures long makeup applications, hours of photo shoots and endless dressing up.<\/p>\n
Hardened by wind, cold and heat.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Claudia Konradi was born in Moscow region in 1940. When the Great Patriotic War began, Claudia’s <\/p>\n
father went to military service, and her mother, with three children in her arms, tried to find at least one job.<\/p>\n
Having saved the two youngest, Klava and his brother, from starvation, he gave them to an orphanage for a while, <\/p>\n
where they were unwell but still fed. After the fall of the Wall, the family was reunited and moved to Korkino, Chelyabinsk Region. The post-war years were not easy, but Claudia never complained.<\/p>\n
She studied well at school, was very fond of literature and could be admitted to the philological department of the institute. <\/p>\n
But she was attracted to a completely different profession, young Klava dreamed of becoming a geologist.<\/p>\n
At the age of 14, he entered the Geological Research College of Miass, after which she went to Kuzbass. <\/p>\n
There she studied the soils of the village and, for the construction of an industrial area, collected samples for laboratory research to calculate how much load the soil could withstand.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
18-year-old Claudia was subjected to a rather violent group of men, among whom were those who had recently been released from prison. But the girl was able to find a common language with everyone.<\/p>\n
It seems that the subordinates treated her like a little girl, because all the time they tried to please her with something, organized surprises and did not hurt her. <\/p>\n
She ended up in the group of Claudia and Nicola, who began to take care of the girl and managed to win her heart.<\/p>\n
And after Kuzbass, she got a ticket to Altai, where she worked again in the men’s team. She learned all the pleasures of living in a tent and cooking over a fire. <\/p>\n
\u2018Of course, it was not easy, I had to work in any weather, both rain and frost.”\u2019 But Claudia did not complain. <\/p>\n
However, after she married Nicola and gave birth to her first daughter, he nevertheless moved in with her parents in Corcino, got a job in a mine, where she worked for more than 30 years.<\/p>\n
Every day he went down to great depths, but for some reason he never felt fear, she knew all the dangerous zones, controlled the quality of coal,<\/p>\n
divided the rocks into different categories. She loved her profession and, surprisingly, she always enjoyed going down to the mine.<\/p>\n
She did not refuse if she was called to work on weekends or even at night, she understood that the <\/p>\n
drilling could not continue without her, but it was also impossible to stop the work of the miners.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Claudia Konrady generally considers herself a happy person in life. Her fate was difficult but interesting, she met good people along the way. <\/p>\n
She never heard bad words from the workers, everyone around her was treated with warmth and respect, they tried to please her.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
It should be noted that Claudia herself was kind and friendly even with strangers.She retired from the privileged service, <\/p>\n
but she is not going to sit at home at all, she started teaching. And even when she was completely done with her career, she couldn’t sit back. <\/p>\n
At first, she traveled a lot, discovered different cultures and countries, and then she started winning the podium with the light hand of one of her granddaughters.<\/p>\n
Claudia has never considered herself beautiful, but she doesn’t like weird outfits.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
She categorically did not recognize old women’s dresses and at the same time tried to dress beautifully, <\/p>\n
stylishly and fashionably, which invariably fascinated one of her granddaughters, creative producer Ekaterina Reish. <\/p>\n
It was she who invited the grandmother to a test photo shoot. Ekaterina chose dresses for herself from her own wardrobe, fortunately, they are the same size as her grandmother’s, 42.<\/p>\n
It is surprising that Claudia Konrady, a very modest and reserved woman in life, did not feel shy and constrained in front of the cameras. <\/p>\n
She patiently endured a long make-up, enjoyed watching the hairdresser work magic on her hair, then meekly changed her clothes and admired her reflection in the mirror every time.<\/p>\n
On one of the social networks, the granddaughter opened a blog for her grandmother, where she published photos. <\/p>\n
Claudia Conradi could have done it herself, if her eyes had not weakened, her eyesight had deteriorated greatly with age. <\/p>\n
Ekaterina coordinates every note with her grandmother, sometimes she even writes texts according to her dictation.<\/p>\n

Soon, Claudia got her first clients, the manufacturer of original women’s headscarves became interested in the adult model, <\/p>\n
and then he invited her for a photo shoot. Claudia now participates in fashion shows in Chelyabinsk.<\/p>\n
For the first time, she took the podium at the Entrepreneurship Day and demonstrated the natural linen products by Kimono. <\/p>\n
